Zimbe! is a 40-minute work for SATB chorus, children’s choir and jazz quintet with percussion, by the UK composer Alexander L’Estrange. It is a vibrant sequence of twelve African and gospel songs, charting a day in the life of an African village. There are simple children’s playground songs from Ghana and Zimbabwe, a Xhosa lullaby for mothers of the victims of Apartheid, a rousing drinking song, and music used on religious occasions. Zimbe! will also provide an exciting new repertory piece for choral societies who may be looking for a follow-up to the world-influenced works of David Fanshawe and Karl Jenkins. The addition of the children’s choir enables choirs to forge, or renew, relationships with local school or community choirs.

Symphony in E-minor, Op. 32 "Gaelic" by Amy Marcy Beach (1867-1944). Edited by Amy Marcy Cheney Beach. For Orchestra (2+1, 2+1, 2, 2 - 4, 2, 3, 1, timpani, percussion, strings) (Orchestra). Masters Study Scores. Romantic/Post-Romantic. Study Score. Composed 1896. 224 pages. Duration 40 minutes. Published by Serenissima (SA.SS063).
ISBN 1932419063. Romantic/Post-Romantic. 6 x 9 inches.
This is a new, digitally enhanced reprint of the score originally published in 1897 by Arthur P. Schmidt. Amy Beach's only symphony is fully representative of her late Romantic style. Composed in 1896, the work makes use of several Irish folksongs as thematic material. The Gaelic symphony received favorable reviews and was subsequently performed by orchestras in both the USA and Europe in the years leading up to the World War I. Like most music of the American late-Romantic school, this lovely symphony was sadly neglected until recently. Thanks to an increased interest in the works of women composers and a general revival of interest in the American late-Romantic school, the Gaelic Symphony has seen a fair number of performances and recordings in recent years.
